Also known as the Chinese Money Plant or the Pancake. The most hipster plant on planet instagram is really easy to look after. I think that's largely why it's proliferating all over social media. It's so low maintenance everyone can be successful and take beautiful pictures of it. But hey, if it's encouraging more plants in our surroundings, I'm all for it. Look after this like you would any typical money plant and it will stay happy.
Difficulty level: Easy
Sunlight: Loves light but not direct sunlight. So the corridor is great. Appreciates dapple light from the morning or afternoon sun. It also does great in the shade and indoors.
Water: Let it dry out before watering because it's susceptible to root rot. Hydrate only when top of soil feels dry. Water through and deeply. If unsure, don't water, especially if your plant is indoors. When it's thirsty, the leaves will droop more than usual and you'll know it's time. I cut the watering frequency by approximately half when it's indoors.
Babies springing up from beneath the soil.
Propagation: Super easy. The mother plant pops out babies from the soil. When they're about 3-inches tall, you can separate them by cutting them about 1-inch down the roots. Use a mix of coconut husk and potting soil. It does best with a well draining medium that holds moisture.
